Receive Petition / Order Speed Study - Shannon Parkway North of ConnemaraCITY OF ROSE4OUNT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ACTION CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: December 15, 1992 AGENDA ITEM: Receive Petition, Order Speed AGENDA SECTION:" Study, Shannon Pkwy north of Connemara Consent PREPARED BY: Bud Osmundson AGENDA NITS J� # 61 City Engineer/Assistant Public Works Director 'y! , ATTACEMENTS: Petition; Previous Speed APP Study -145th to 137th,; Resolution i U The City received a -petition from concerned citizens living on or near Shannon Parkway asking that, in summary: 1. The speed limit be reduced to 30 mph north of Connemara Trail; 2. For the installation of 3 -way stop signs at the Current Circle and 137th Street intersections with Shannon Parkway; and 3. Eliminate the transition from a 4 -lane to a 2 -lane immediately north of Connemara Trail. Staff has found that a speed study (attached) was performed in 1989 on Shannon Parkway from 145th Street to 137th Street, which set the speed limit at 40 mph. Staff recommends that we ask that MNDOT perform a speed study on Shannon Parkway from Connemara Trail to McAndrews Road (County Road 38). Also, Staff recommends that we investigate the remaining two issues and come back to Council when all items have been studied. , RECOMMENDED ACTION: MOTION TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE COMMISSIONER OF TRANSPORTATION TO CONDUCT A SPEED STUDY FOR SHANNON PARKWAY FROM CONNEMARA TRAIL TO MCANDREWS ROAD (COUNTY ROAD 38). COUNCIL ACTION: 7 November 29, 1992 SHANNON PARKWAY TRAFFIC PETITION As residents living on or near Shannon Parkway it has become shockingly clear that the current traffic patterns on SP present clear and present dangers to all the children that live and play near SP. We feel that the current speed limit of 40 MPH and the lack of stop signs along the residential stretch of SP need to be addressed. We ask the city council of Rosemount to hear our plea. We ask the following : 1. That the speed limit be dropped to 30 MPH at the very least between Connemara and County Road 38. 2. The installation of 3 - way stop signs, combined with "CHILDREN PRESENT" signs at Current Circle and SP, and 137th and SP .This would FORCE traffic to stop and then continue at an acceptable rate of speed for a residential area. 3. That the solid white lines that create narrow single lanes and presently begin at 137th begin instead at Connemara going northward. This would prevent the passing that is now common through this area. No matter what the current classification of this road is, we ask our elected public servents to realize that this stretch of Shannon Parkway 1S a residential area, and that there are at least two dozen children that on a regular basis cross SP. Being that this stretch is also a winding road and that the present average speed is well above 40 MPH, it must be obvious that it is only a matter of time before a catastrophic accident involing a child occurs. We urge the council to give this matter prompt attention. Please make the safety of the children in this area THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR of this discussion. We all look forward to speaking with you at the next council meeting. You may contact Tom Gurney at 322 4517 if you have questions. Thank You.
